Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

"It's my turn now, isn't it?"

Raleigh's murderous voice rang out, which would make anyone unhappy.

I woke up to find myself seeing two classmates I hadn't seen in a long time, but we hadn't even said hello yet.

The pretty girl classmate immediately tried to cut him, and then the simp classmate followed suit and attacked him.

Do you really think you're an easy target, someone who can be bullied at will?

I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

Suddenly, Jiaji felt a chill surge from his heart, and the hair on his body stood on end.

A huge fist magnified in Kake's eyes and struck him with lightning speed.

There's no way to dodge it... all we can do is try our best to defend.

Jiaji desperately crossed his arms in front of his chest, and with just a slight touch, he felt an immense force surging towards him. In his eyes, Raleigh was like a demon god.

Kaji desperately kicked the deck with both legs, his face turning red from the exertion, but he still couldn't resist the immense force, which broke through Kaji's defenses in an instant.

With a strange cry, Jiaji was sent flying like a cannonball.

To Gion's incredulous gaze, Kake crashed directly into the cabin, leaving a human-shaped hole.

"Rayle, how's this cut?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gion appeared in front of Raleigh.

"One-Sword Style: Cherry Blossom Fall!"

The golden sword instantly sliced ​​through the air, producing a sharp, piercing sound.

The blade slashed down fiercely, but to no avail.

Because the blade was in Raleigh's hand at that moment, the sharp slashes, covered by Armament Haki, did not cause him any harm.

"Gion, do you want me to be gentle or firm?"

Looking at the handsome, punchable face in front of her, Gion decided she didn't want to choose either of them.

Raleigh's iron fist, carrying the force of wind and thunder, slammed fiercely towards Gion's front.

The air kept making popping sounds, and the strong airflow made Gion's cheeks hurt.

Without a second thought, Gion forcefully pulled the famous sword from Raleigh's hand and held it in front of her chest just before the fist was about to strike.

boom!

The iron fist struck the blade mercilessly, bending it into a terrifying arc.

Gion felt a tremendous force coming from her, and she also felt the force that Kake had just experienced.

He felt as if he had been hit by a raging rhinoceros and was sent flying like a cannonball.

It slid for more than ten meters on the deck before stopping rolling.

Blood trickled from the corner of Gion's mouth, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and a burning sensation came from the web of his hands.

Even without looking down, Gion knew that his palms were covered in blood.

The battle had reached this point, and it was practically over. Gion had come to understand the enormous gap in strength between himself and Raleigh.

On the entire warship, everyone seemed to have lost the ability to speak; there was a deathly silence.

After a moment, it boiled.

"Hey, did you guys see that? Colonel Raleigh is so handsome!"

"He can take on two opponents and still easily defeat the geniuses from headquarters!"

"That's incredible. No wonder he's our Colonel Raleigh."

Gion's face turned bright red; she felt extremely ashamed.

I thought that after training at Marine Headquarters for so long, I could deal with Raleigh.

As a result, even the two of them combined weren't enough to beat Raleigh by himself.

What exactly did this guy do in the East China Sea?

Raleigh walked up to Gion with a relaxed expression, extended his hand, and said gently, "Are you alright, Gion?"

Gion's face turned red as she grabbed Raleigh's hand and got up from the ground.

With a complex expression, Gion said:

"Sometimes I really don't understand why someone as strong as you would be content to stay in this gentle haven of the East China Sea."

"Despite having mastered physical skills, techniques, and Haki, he has been reluctant to take up a post at headquarters and venture into the Grand Line."

"Rayle, what are you thinking?"

What are you thinking about? Slacking off, of course!

However, this cannot be said outright.

"I didn't think too much about it; I just felt that this approach might suit me better. I can become stronger faster in this kind of environment."

Luo used a roundabout way to tell the truth, but Gion clearly didn't believe him.

"Fine, your good days are coming to an end anyway."

Raleigh: ? ? ?

Why do I have such a bad feeling?

Gion rolled her eyes at Raleigh, then looked at her hands:

"Could you let go of my hand before you think about anything?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I forgot." Lori loosened Gion's small hand, but in her heart she was thinking that it was so smooth...so moist.

Kaji quickly had someone rescue him from the cabin, and a kind doctor wrapped him in many bandages, leaving only his eyes exposed.

This looks much better to the eye.

They had now arrived at Raleigh's office.

Raleigh immediately lay down on his specially made office chair, with his legs propped up on the desk, looking quite relaxed.

Gion had already accepted it, so she didn't nitpick, since she couldn't beat him anyway.

Kaji and Squirrel, two unfortunate brothers, were sitting on the sofa next to each other, smoking, their bodies wrapped in bandages.

God knows how they managed to stuff cigarettes into their bandages and smoke.

Gion produced a special dispatch order issued by headquarters and said to Raleigh:

"In recognition of the outstanding military achievements of 133rd Division Chief Raleigh, who has annihilated several well-known pirate crews in the East Blue during his tenure, the headquarters hereby promotes Raleigh to the rank of Brigadier General and appoints him as the adjutant to the Admiral of the North Blue."

Upon hearing this news, the previously leisurely Raleigh immediately panicked.

He tried to get up quickly, but with his legs still on the table, he fell straight to the ground.

Jiaji stared blankly at his classmate.

I couldn't even hit him with my heavy punch just now, but now a piece of news about a promotion can make him panic. I really don't understand.

Raleigh was getting a little frustrated; he didn't know why he was being targeted by his superiors.

Honestly, ever since he came to the East Blue, he had been diligently slacking off, afraid that if he caught too many pirates, he would be transferred to headquarters.

Along with him, several promising and troublesome naval talents were kicked out of Branch 133 on the grounds that their future could not be delayed.

Now, who can tell me why I got promoted?!

"Gion, you must be joking with me. My achievements are not enough to qualify me for such an important position."

A flustered Raleigh ran up to Gion and asked nervously.

Gion rolled her eyes at him, then handed him the letter of appointment.

"You have to tell the higher-ups that Branch 133 can't function without me; they need me to operate normally."

Gion said irritably:

"Don't worry, Sister Crane and General Sengoku have already thought it through. Anyway, you don't usually get involved in things, so they've promoted Momonga to Colonel."

"Starting tomorrow, Squirrel will be the branch leader of Branch 133, with the rank of Colonel at headquarters."

After saying that, Gion took out another appointment letter from her bosom and waved it in front of Raleigh.

Raleigh stood there, seemingly lost in thought, holding the letter of appointment.

The notice contained only a few prominent characters: "Major Flying Squirrel appointed as the head of Branch 133, and promoted to Colonel of the Headquarters."

"Heaven is going to destroy me!"

Raleigh roared silently in his heart.

Then he looked at the flying squirrel eating melons on the sofa with a cold gaze.

The flying squirrel was also confused; how did it end up getting caught up in the gossip?

However, being promoted is certainly a good thing. He felt it was a waste for Raleigh to stay in this small place called East China Sea.

"Rolley, congratulations on your promotion."

Raleigh's and Kake's untimely congratulations made him want to curse.

To be fair, if he had been transferred to the South China Sea or the West China Sea, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

But that's Beihai.

Raleigh traveled to the North Sea, and he knew exactly how chaotic the North Sea was.

Before Roger embarked on the Age of Exploration, the North Sea was known as the Chaotic North Sea.

Various mafia families, pirates, human traffickers, and so on.

Anyway, whoever goes to Beihai suffers; there's no chance to slack off.

Moreover, he knew that the current admiral of the North Sea was Sakazuki.

Raleigh found it difficult to slack off under his supervision.
